A version of the CookieJar gem that is more relaxed towards domains.

Relaxed CookieJar

A gem that includes a monkeypatch for the original CookieJar gem.

This gem exists simply because the original CookieJar gem seems to be abandoned yet it is still used by a lot of other gems (like Faye). The main change this gem does is to relax the policies for matched domains.

For example, if you are trying to connect to a Salesforce PushTopic, the code will try to match the requested domain (something like company--ver.inst.my.salesforce.com) with the cookie domain (.salesforce.com) and it will obviously fail. CookieJar does try to go one level deep (so it will also add .inst.my.salesforce.com to the list of valid domains) but obviously this will not work.

This gem basically overrides the CookieJar::CookieValidation.compute_search_domains_for_host method so it will go slightly deeper and also add .my.salesforce.com and .salesforce.com to the list of expected domains.

Usage

Simply require this gem:

require 'faye'
require 'relaxed_cookiejar'

This should be it.
